Academic and author David Horowitz has passed away at age 86. The conservative author passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer.
He was the founder of the conservative think tank the David Horowitz Freedom Center. But Horowitz was not a Conservative in his early years; in fact, he was a flaming Liberal who was born to two Communist parents!
As with most rational people, as he grew up, Horowitz saw Liberalism for the cancer it is, and began a ten year transformation from Theorist for the Left, to its worst enemy.
